    West Brom vs Watford Prediction

    West Brom started the season with three wins in their opening three games. However, they are winless in three since then, with two losses in the EFL Cup and league preceding their draw with Charlton. James Morrison will hope his side can get back to winning ways against a side that have struggled.

    Watford are winless in their last four competitive games. Defensive frailty has been a concern, with nine goals conceded in their last four matches.

    Seven of the last eight head-to-head games have witnessed goals at both ends, and this trend could continue in a narrow victory for the home side.
